TJ Dorper Sheep Farm

TJ Dorper Sheep Farm raises Dorper sheep in Bakersfield, CA, serving Kern County and the southern Central Valley near Fresno. They have been breeding these hardy sheep for more than fifteen years and maintain registrations with national sheep associations. Their flock grazes rotationally on well-managed pastures and lambs are introduced to handling from an early age. Routine health checks and foot care are part of the daily routine to support hardy stock suited to varied climates.

The farm’s commitment to gentle handling has earned praise from local homesteaders for calm temperaments and consistent lamb crops. Several ewes trace back to pedigreed Dorper lines known for good maternal traits and growth rates. Tim and Jeanie Barman share experience from two decades of livestock management, blending practical knowledge with a focus on animal welfare. Their lambs adapt well to both small farms and larger operations.
